Jimmy's Bastards

In Jimmy's Bastards, Garth Ennis and Russ Braun deliver a darkly comedic espionage series for AfterShock that follows a legendary British secret agent whose globe-trotting womanizing has produced a staggering number of illegitimate children—all of whom have now united to seek revenge. Launched in 2018, this two-issue run blends Ennis's signature irreverent humor and political bite with Braun's expressive, detail-rich artwork, creating a sharp spoof of the James Bond archetype. It matters as a concise, high-concept twist on the spy genre, showcasing the creative duo's ability to pack a complete, explosive story into a tight format.
